- Dental ExaminationAfter a thorough dental examination, including a digital x-ray (which uses minimal radiation), you and your dentist will discuss what needs to be done to create a new, gleaming smile worthy of the silver screen, but at a non-celebrity price. The first step is to shave off a small amount from the front of each tooth, both to help it adhere when the veneer is bonded to it and to keep the result from looking unnaturally thick. Then an impression mold is made of the area and this is sent to a top dental laboratory to craft each one in a shade to match your neighboring natural teeth (or a whiter one if you are having veneers on all teeth that show when you fully smile). Once the veneer is created, on a second visit your dentist will apply a bonding agent, attach the veneer to the tooth, and harden the bonding with a special light.

- Teeth CleaningBesides a regular teeth cleaning, getting a filling is the easiest, least intensive procedure that you can get in a dental office. A single filling takes less than an hour. Your mouth is numbed before the procedure, and the anesthetic will wear off within a few hours. You should immediately be able to eat normally.
- FillingsIf cavities are left untreated, it may cause infection and permanent damage, which can weaken your tooth. While other doctors may restore your tooth with amalgam fillings, the cosmetic dentist offers you composite fillings, which look unnoticeable and natural.
- Resin CompositeThis treatment is perfect for someone who wants to improve the color, size, and shape of their teeth and make it look as natural as possible. The procedure is based on bonding a composite resin to the tooth. When it is shaped and polished, it looks as natural as your own teeth. With this treatment, you can even fill the small gaps between your teeth. The procedure uses tooth-colored material to change the color of your teeth or to fill the gaps. On the other hand, bonding is more prone to chipping or staining compared to other restorations.
- Veneers, even though practices often market to the public based just on price, using veneers made of composite plastic resin, which typically last five years or even less. Beverly Hills Dentistry’s porcelain veneers can be in place for 10-15 years, making them very cost-effective and an important initial step in what may become a complete smile makeover and redesign.
- CrownsThat depends on how much of your original tooth is still intact. Fillings are good for sealing small cavities in mostly intact teeth. However, if your tooth is in a more advanced stage of decay, a crown is more appropriate since it seals the entire tooth away from further damage. Your dentist will advise you on what condition your tooth is in and whether it needs a crown or filling.
- BridgesIn certain cases, placing dental implants is difficult due to a lack of proper bone structure. In these cases, your dentist may suggest a sinus augmentation. A sinus lift is a procedure in which the sinus floor is raised and the bone is developed for implants to be placed. In other cases, a ridge modification may be performed. A ridge modification entails a lifting of the dental bridge. Defects are filled with bone or bone substitutes. Afterwards, implants can be successfully placed.
- Dental BondingThere are other elements of a smile makeover, from dental bonding to cover gaps and discoloring to contouring and reshaping teeth.

- Dentures: This is a type of oral appliance that keeps your airway clear while sleeping. It moves the tongue and jaw forward to prevent the tongue from impairing your breathing. Over-the-counter options are available, as well as devices custom-crafted to fit your mouth. It should be noted that MADs are not suitable for those who wear dentures or have serious dental issues.
- Dental ImplantsDental implants are the most permanent, durable solution available for missing teeth. Even if your teeth have been missing for a while and your jawbone has atrophied, bone grafts can restore enough strength to support a dental implant.

Additionally, changing properties of your teeth like shade, color, or texture. Moreover, it also includes aligning teeth properly, as well as a patient’s bite. Some cosmetic dentistry procedures are fairly simple and routine, other cases can be more complex and provide restorative benefits. Each patient and each case is different.
- General DentistryIs a branch of dentistry which focuses on creating the best aesthetic result in a person’s overall smile. A great smile can boost your confidence and make a positive first impression to people you meet.

Dentists who specializes in cosmetic dentistry perform procedures which are commonplace in general dentistry, but utilize more natural-looking and aesthetic materials, in order to create the best aesthetic result.
